Hello, Does anyone on this list know anything about the children of John Marshall, the first banker of Shawneetown? John and his brother Samuel were early settlers of Shawneetown. Another brother Daniel arrived a few years later and moved to Hamilton County. I know one daughter of John married Henry Eddy. There are at least two other Marshall women who also marry in Gallatin County in the 1820s. One married Alexander Kirkpatrick and the other Thomas C. Browne. Does anyone know if these are daughters of John or Samuel? Also, I've long assumed that Samuel D. Marshall is the son of the banker John. He's the "friend" of Lincoln, owned the paper in Shawneetown at one point and served as a major during the Mexican War. Does anyone know for certain he's John's son? He's not to be confused with his cousin, judge and Congressman, Samuel S. Marshall of Hamilton County, the son of Daniel.

Does anyone have any info on Andrew Woolard Horn, son of William Horn who married Julia Ann Corley and moved to Saline Co., IL? I believe William to have had brothers: Richard Cannon Horn, and John Thomas Horn who m. Arminta Reed. I'm looking for any connection to the Reed or Randolph families in Saline Co.? Jan

Seeking info on Milton J REED m Martha Jane CAYTON in Gallatin CO IL 29 Feb 1844. They moved to Pulaski Co AR shortly afterwards and were working with John H REED. By 1850 Martha J REED age 24 b TN was back in Gallatin in the household of Catherine CAYTON with two children Laura J REED age 5 b AR and Milton J REED age 3 b IL. Are John H and MIlton J REED brothers and who are their parents? John H REED worked for the Indian Service as a clerk in AR during Indian Removal during 1833/34 then ran a newspaper for a while. John H married in AR and died there. Any help will be appreciated and I will be glad to share what I have on them in AR.

F.Marion Green and his son Martin V. Green My husband's grandmother was Ethelinda Martha Jane Green, born 22 Oct 1887 Dexter, Stoddard, MO. She married Grover Cleveland Bagby 2 Aug 1904 Bloomfield, Stoddard, MO. They had a large family: Clyde Cleveland, Ernest William, Loren Lee, Nola Augusta, Virginia Ruth, Verda Alice Piccola, Hazel Marie, Joseph Woodrow, Dolly Elberta, Grover Carl, Graydon Edward, Berniece Louise, Robert Floyd. Martha died 13 Oct 1929 Parma, New Madrid, MO. She was a pretty woman, inside and out, much loved and respected by family and friends. She was a hard worker and made every effort to help her husband provide for their family. Martha's father was Martin V. Green, born about 1859 in Illinois according to census reports, but we don't know which county in Illinois. Martha's husband Grover, told some of his children he thought Martin Green was born in Hamilton or White County, Illinois. He died about 1917 Dexter, Stoddard Co, Mo and is buried in Hagey Cemetery, Dexter, MO. Martin married first Lizzie Culbertson 2 Dec 1880, Stoddard County, MO, but that didn't work out and apparently they never had any children. He then married second, Martha's mother, Zelthia Angeline Swift. She was born 1857 in Missouri according to what her mother reported to the census. Zelthia died 25 Oct 1887, Dexter, Stoddard, MO. Martha was just three days old when her mother died. There was another child to this marriage; Ethel Marie Green, born 17 June 1886, Dexter, Stoddard, MO. She married 15 March 1905 Bloomfield, Stoddard, MO to James Lewis Haney, they had several children, too. Ethel died 4 March 1938. Martin Green married third to Lilly Fettinger about 1888, probably in southeast Missouri. Lilly died, but I don't know when. They had two children; Marion Henry Green born ca 1891, MO, d 9 June 1935, married Ethel Mae Hill; Effie Green born 10 May 1890, married 1941 Cliner Wingate. Martin Green married fourth Mary Essie Higdon about 1900 probably Missouri. She died, but I don't know when or where. They had several children: Earl Teen born about 1900, probably Indiana, died Nov 1918; Annabel born about 1904 probably Indiana, died 24 Jan 1936; Dora Mae born about 1905 probably Indiana, died Nov 1918; Basil Thomas born 11 Feb 1907 probably Indiana, died 23 July 1967, married 18 Nov 1936 to Mary Margaret Lecocq; Albert born about 1909 probably Indiana, died about 1917; and George Washington Green born 11 Jan 1912 Grayson, Salem, Illinois, md 24 March 1943 to Ruby Martha Phelps, they had a son Gilbert Leon Green born 5 Dec 1944 Princeton, Indiana, married 24 June 1964 Princeton, Indiana. For whatever reason, most likely because he didn't know how to take care of two babies, Martin Green left the two girls he had by Zelthia with Zelthia's parents, William Franklin Swift and Ethelinda Owen Swift to take care of after Zelthia died. For another reason, I'm not sure what the story is, the girls stayed with their grandparents and they raised them as though they were their own. Martin V. Green's parents were F. (we think Francis) Marion Green and his wife Nancy M. (last name unknown). According to the Stoddard Co, Mo 1880 census Marion was born in 1835 in Missouri, but his father was born in Tennessee and his mother was born in Kentucky. According to the census Nancy was born 1845 in Missouri, both her parents were born in Missouri. We found a deed in an old land record book in Bloomfield, MO where F. Marion and Nancy M. signed. Marion died 30 March 1887 near Dexter, Stoddard, MO and is buried in Hagey Cemetery, Dexter, Stoddard, MO. Nancy died after 1904 near Dexter. The story passed on to me by my husband's mother was that Marion died at Uncle Henry Swift's place in Stoddard Co, MO, it was beside a school possible Lone Oak, no longer there, along the old Dexter sand road between Dexter and Bernie. Not sure who Uncle Henry Swift is, or how much credence to put into this story since Marion Green was not a relative of the Swifts. On the 1900 Census, Liberty Twp, Stoddard Co, MO is listed Nancy Green as hoh, a widow, b Sep 1846 (not far off what was reported previously) in Mo, parents b in MO. Listed with Nancy is Carrie Carson, niece, b Oct 1888, single, b Mo. Now, question is, was Nancy a Carson, or was Carrie's mother Nancy's sister, who may have married a Carson. To muddy the waters further: Another family story goes that Martin Green came to Missouri and brought his parents and lived near Joe Wheeler, the brother of Marion Green. Joe Wheeler, supposedly, moved to Missouri and chaged his name from Green because he had killed a man. Wheeler was supposed to be the name of his stepmother's first husband. Joe and Marion are buried close together at Hagey Cemetery at Dexter. I got the 1850 Census film of Stoddard Co, MO, but I could not find any Greens on that census. I have the 1860 Stoddard Co film ordered, but it hasn't come in yet, same with 1870. The only Martin Green I could find on the 1880 Census was living in a boarding house in St. Louis and listed his his occupation as news agent, maybe he was working for a newspaper, I don't know. As far as I can remember, that's all of my Green story I know to tell you. Hopefully, somebody will be able to contribute something to help with this perplexing family puzzle.

I just found out tonight that Gallatin County's long-time historian Lucille Lawler has died. Below his her obituary from The Daily Register in Harrisburg. With regrets, Jon Musgrave www.IllinoisHistory.com Lucille (Duffy) Lawler Lucille (Duffy) Lawler, 93, died Wednesday, June 26, 2002. She was born Oct. 3, 1908, on a farm in Pond Settlement near Ridgway to the late John and Hannah (Doherty) Duffy. On Dec. 27, 1932, she married James T. Lawler, who preceded her in death in 1991. She was a member of the St. Patrick's Pond Settlement Parish all of her life. She was a teacher, wife and mother of six children with 20 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. She has authored six books, six videos and three plays. For 24 years, Lucille taught elementary grades in Gallatin County. After retiring, Lucille substituted until she was 80 years old in 1988. At a time when most people are thinking of slowing down and enjoying the "Golden Years," Lucille Lawler began her career as an author. The year was 1968 when the Gallatin County historian wrote "Gallatin County, Gateway to Illinois." Lawler was 60 years old. She describes her life as one of three phases: teaching years, mothering years and writing years. Lucille began her teaching career at the young age of 16. Her trips to the old Maple Grove School and other one-room schools would often be made on horseback. It was after her children were raised that Lawler began to concentrate on writing and promoting history. Some of the many accomplishments of Lucille's lifetime: author of six books and six videos; founding president of Gallatin County Historical Society (1966); first president of the Illinois State Historical Congress (1969); and Illinois Mother of the Year (1987). Lucille's days were filled with volunteer work with the Gallatin County Homemakers Association, promoting tourism in southeastern Illinois, playing the piano for the residents of Ridgway Manor Nursing Home and writing a new book. "She didn't like to play the piano a lot in public as she didn't learn how to play it until she was 80." She didn't dwell in the past, just wanted to preserve and promote it. She also wrote for the local newspaper on vanishing landmarks and now has them in a book, published in June 2000. It includes 73 barns and stories of their owners. Lucille is survived by: three sons, Msgr. Joe Lawler of McLeansboro; Raymond and Ellen Lawler; Dr. Bill and Terri Lawler, all of Marion; two daughters, Mary Ellen and Deacon Gary Walsh of Katy, Texas and Lucy and Bill Zilch of Bloomingdale.; three sisters, Evadeen Coleman and Geneva Scates of Shawneetown and Betty Seely of Ridgway; grandchildren Charlotte, Beth, John, Michael, Cindy, Lucy, Colleen, Bridget, Mike, Elizabeth, Jim, Todd, Jay, Adam, Ben, David, Dan, Shaun, Mark, Christy; and eight great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, one son, Pat Lawler; two brothers, Martin and Steve Duffy; three sisters, Regina Drone, Ruth McGuire, and Marie Duffy. Visitation is after 4 p.m. Friday, June 28, 2002, at Cox & Son Funeral Home in Ridgway where a prayer service followed by a Daughters of Isabella Service will start at 8 p.m. Funeral Mass is 11 a.m. Saturday, June 29, 2002, at St. Patrick's Church in Pond Settlement with Msgr. Joseph Lawler and Bishop Wilton Gregory co-celebrants. Interment is at St. Patrick's Cemetery. At the family's request, they would like donations be made to the Gallatin County Historical Society in Mrs. Lawler's memory instead of purchasing flowers. Envelopes will be available at the funeral home.

Bill, In case no one has yet responded to your request for information as to what newspapers were available in Gallatin County during the middle decades of the 1800s, Goodspeed's "History of Gallatin, Saline, Hamilton, Franklin and Williamson Counties," (1887) lists the following newspapers as being published in Shawneetown in the 1850's and 1860's: -- The "Southern Illinoisan" was published in Shawneetown from May 7, 1852 to 1860. -- The "Southern Illinois Advocate" was published for a few months. -- The "Western Voice" was published for some time, and continued as the "Shawneetown Intelligencer." -- The "Mercury" was published from 1860 to 1873. You also ask where these papers might be. The Illinois State Historical Library is the mandated newspaper repository in Illinois. The newspapers are available on microfilm, which are available for borrowing on interlibrary loan. See http://www.state.il.us/hpa/lib/#Newspapers.

hello, I am looking for the family or families of Joseph Rawson who married Mary Voris/Vooris/Voorhies in Henderson Co KY. Am trying to prove that Mary Voris is the sister to my Sophia Voris who married Levi Wells in Posey Co IN. Would like to hear from anyone who might have some clue as to where this family went to. Have checked White Co IL and know that they were not there. From what I have concluded, the Rawson family also followed the same trail as the Wells, Gallatin Co, Henry Co, and Whitesides Co all in Illinois. --- ARLENE CROWFOOT --- crowfoa@earthlink.net .

Check out the article at this link. It's a good example of how we can lose some of our heritage forever through the greed of developers and others who would do things like this. As a person interested in genealogy, I hear stories all the time about graves being plowed under, and the stones being used to line wells, etc. This stuff shouldn't be allowed to happen to anybody's ancestors. http://www.rftstl.com/issues/2001-10-31/news.html/1/index.html Mike C.
